Developing non-inertial navigation devices

Contrary to currently utilized traditional gyro-based inertial navigation, Non-Inertial Navigation (NIN) has based its functions on measurements of correlations between an object in motion and straight-line propagation of light in vacuum within. This approach allows for the measurements of a vector of velocity of the object in motion which further provides for digitizing a trajectory of the object’s motion in 3-dimensional space. As it stands, such discovery will eventually obsolete all inertial or gyro-based navigational avionics. Furthermore, this new class of NIN creates unprecedented opportunities for development of on-board Active Autonetic Autonomous Navigation (AAAN). Deployment of such systems will drastically change how we fly in space from civilian and military aviation all the ways to deep space explorations. The electrodynamic nature of linear measurements of the vector of velocity of an object in motion from within and from the motion itself will provide benefits unmatched by any existing methods.

Below is a list of a few benefits that NIN technology offers:
. Direct real-time velocity measurements with no instructional lag-time that are independent from influences of gravity where higher speeds actually enhance resolution
. On-board relativistic measurements that provide for computerized control via predetermine digitized trajectories
. Zoom-in, play-forward/ play-back capabilities of in-flight recorded or prerecorded trajectories
. Abilities to determine velocity and position during rotation and tumbling
. Autonomous high resolution flight control including retrieve/rescue capability
. Stable countermeasures proof operation in adverse conditions
. Stealth operation that is free of man-maid or natural interference

To underline all of the above it could be simply stated that: Non-Inertial Navigation to space navigation is what a jet propulsion to aeronautics was.

Our work violates ‘Special Relativity’ no more than Michelson-Gale or Sagnac
To clarify some uncertainty on this subject I would suggest the article by R. Wang et al. ‘Generalized Sagnac Effect’ (Physical Review, Letters 93, 143901.) We have utilized this finding in building linear Sagnac model.

No we don’t
As it stated in our work:
“It has to be taking into account that the devices of Non-Inertial Navigation do not provide grounds for establishing the preferred frame of references and measurements done by such devices are to be calibrated in relative terms only.” To clarify some uncertainty on this subject I would suggest the article by R. Wang et al. ‘Generalized Sagnac Effect’ (Physical Review, Letters 93, 143901.) We have utilized this finding in building linear Sagnac model.

Dear AlNav
It is great that you found this VERY intriguing, and it is surprising that you just found out about this theoretical concept since it is almost a decade old!!!
Regarding similarity of the theoretical model with Einstein’s “light clock” which in the original work called “Grethen or Gertrude Clock” I would advise you to compare the description of this contraption in its original form to the description in the modern books of Physics. I think you will find serious discrepancies between original Einstein train of thoughts and its modern interpretation and especially our theoretical model.
Regarding a preferred or as you may call it privilege frame of references. As it stated in all our work including the theoretical page in web site “space-navigation” we stipulate that:
“It has to be taking into account that the devices of Non-Inertial Navigation do not provide grounds for establishing the preferred frame of references and measurements done by such devices are to be calibrated in relative terms only.”
In that we don’t have to separate all motions that were mentioned in your remarks. Zero can be set at any position and any motion. The device will read only differences between set numbers and actual motions.
The graphical representation, you have referred to, illustrates Einstein’s theory of moving clocks and objects, but it does not addresses the difference between distances that the two beams travel inside of the contraption in motion. The sited in the video Michelson work on interferometery and especially dual path of the light beams holds the key to this riddle
To clarify some uncertainty on this subject I would suggest the article by R. Wang et al. ‘Generalized Sagnac Effect’ (Physical Review, Letters 93, 143901.) We have utilized this finding in building linear Sagnac model.
Quick conclusions not always define a direct line to the rightness.

I checked the date of this article--I don't see "April fools day" anywhere. And it's not pre-Einstein relativity either. This physicist says that this non-inertial navigation is pure marketing.
Someone is hiding something here. Parker Technology and AppCon group sound like the ones...since I've never heard of them before.

I was VERY intrigued by the title of this article!
I have been working with MEMS inertial sensors for several years now and this would be an incredible boon to the industry. Almost too good to be true? I was a little surprised no one had thought of this before.
I was curious about the effect that was measured, as the plot shown in Figure 1 doesn’t actually show any result (nothing about it says x velocity leads to y output to be measured on the oscilloscope).
So, I found this page regarding the operation of the device: http://www.space-navigation.com/2294.html
At this point something seemed very familiar about this! I realized, this is the classic “light clock” of Einstein's thought experiments.
So, unfortunately due to the (stubborn) universal lack of a privileged reference frame, this device would not work. In fact, if it did work, I would be interested in knowing how the device separates the velocity on the plane relative to the Earth, from the consistently high velocity of our rotation around the Earth (0 ~ 1000 mph), and the higher velocity of the Earth around the sun (~67,000mph), and the higher still velocity of the solar system around the galaxy (~514,495mph)...
This is a very good little graphical representation of the math behind this: http://youtu.be/sv5KgHW3JIg?t=11m44s
So, unfortunately this will be no jet propulsion revolution in inertial measurement.
Cheers!
